Carolyn Cassady was born the 28th April in 1923. Much more than just Neal Cassady’s wife, Carolyn was featured heavily in Jack Kerouac’s work but was also a writer in her own right. Cassady authored two memoirs: Heart Beat: My Life with Jack and Neal (published in 1976) and Off the Road: My Years with Cassady, Kerouac and Ginsberg (published in 1996).
Cassady also appears in John Clellon Holmes' novel “Go,” and was portrayed by Kirsten Dunst in the 2012 adaptation of On The Road.
